Episode 10 - Humane End of Life - Euthanasia

In this episode of Rosie & BJ Save the World, the two co-hosts discuss the controversial topic of self-euthanization.

After doing research into self-euthanization, also known as "death with dignity," Rosie found that the healthcare lobby has a financial incentive to keep people alive — insurance money.

Rosie explains, "They make more money from the ICU — from people living as vegetables and hooked up to machines. The longer you're in the hospital, and the longer you suffer, the more money the healthcare devils make!"
